A mixture of phenolphthalein, methyl orange, and litmus would typically result in a color that depends on the pH of the solution. Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in basic solutions, while methyl orange is red in acidic conditions and yellow in neutral to basic conditions. Litmus is red in acidic solutions and blue in basic ones. Therefore, the overall color would vary, likely appearing red in acidic environments and transitioning through shades of orange to yellow in neutral to basic conditions, depending on the dominant indicator's pH response.

It depends on the indicator and there are quite a few. Methyl Red, Methyl orange and Phenolphthalein are 3 such acid-base indicators. If phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and added to the base it would immediately turn red/pink. As acid is titrated in, the red/pink will disappear and go colorless.
Phenolphthalein has a pH range of 8.2 to 10.0, where it changes color from colorless to pink. Methyl orange has a pH range of 3.1 to 4.4, exhibiting a color change from red at low pH to yellow at high pH.
Alkalinity is different from basicity, which is directly related to the pH. The higher the pH, the more basic the water.Like acidity, there are different ways to measure and report alkalinity;The first is to titrate the water with acid titrant to the phenolphthalein end point. This is called the phenolphthalein alkalinity. Since phenolphthalein changes color at pH~8.3, this corresponds to a pH where all the CO32- present would be protonated.Second, acid titration to a methyl orange end point, pH~4.3, further converts the bicarbonate to aqueous carbon dioxide. At this end point, some of the weaker conjugate bases are protonated. The methyl orange end point titration indicates total alkalinity.
A mixture of methyl orange, litmus, and phenolphthalein can be used as a universal indicator because each indicator covers a different pH range. Methyl orange turns red in acidic solutions, litmus turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions, and phenolphthalein turns pink in basic solutions. By observing the color change of the mixture, you can determine the approximate pH of the solution being tested.

Acids can turn different colors in indicators like litmus paper. They turn red in litmus paper, yellow in phenolphthalein, and orange in methyl orange.
All acidic solutions are colourless in phenolphthalein, pink in methyl orange solution and turns blue litmus paper into red.
Some common indicators for acids include litmus paper (blue to red for acidic solutions), phenolphthalein (colorless to pink/red for acidic solutions), and methyl orange (red to yellow for acidic solutions). For alkalis, indicators include litmus paper (red to blue for basic solutions), phenolphthalein (colorless to pink/red for basic solutions), and methyl orange (yellow to red for basic solutions).

indicators - e.g methyl red, methyl orange, phenolphthalein etc.orThose substances are called indicators. They show different colours with different substances. Some common indicators are methyl orange, litmus, phenolphthalein etc.
methyl orange
There are various ways to test for an acid and an alkali. For acidic solution: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> red Phenolphthalein --> colorless Methyl orange --> pink Universal Indicator (changes color according to the strength of acid) --> red to yellow. For alkaline solutions: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> blue Phenolphthalein --> pink Methyl orange --> yellow Universal Indicator --> blue green to purple
